Below is Corazon’s explanation on why Jacque Maribe is likely to spend the rest of her life in prison:

corazon_kwamboka#legaltuesdays #celebritylawyer #askcorazonlaw.
ACCESSORY TO A CRIME In criminal law, helping or contributing to a crime is as criminal as actively and actually commiting the crime.
You can be criminally prosecuted along with the perpetrator(the person who did the criminal act) for
1. Coming up with the idea
2. Commanding someone to commit a crime
3. Hiring someone to commit a crime for you
4. Instigating a crime
5. Giving advice on how to commit a crime
6. Covering the crime, whether before or after it’s done.

So what do you do if you are aware that your partner is about to commit a crime or has committed a crime to avoid being an accessory avoid prosecuted?

1. Make a report to the police.
2. Convince the ‘criminal’ to go forward.
Do not try to be ride or die or you will be riding together to prison. In case you failed to make a report here are some of the defenses
1. Mistake of fact; where you a genuine mistake as to what you friend or partner did or was about to do. E.g they asked to borrow a knife and you give them thinking they are going to chop tomatoes but they butcher their wife with it.
2. Abandonment; if you stopped offering you help on time and therefore making it hard or impossible for the principal to commit the crime.
3. Withdrawal; ‘ I didn’t help because it was wrong, and I tried to take away the gun so he wouldn’t kill her.

Dennis Itumbi prays for Joseph Irungu to be thrown in prison while Jacque Maribe to be freed so they could ride into the sunset together

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Dennis Itumbi has stuck on his guns on defending Jacque Maribe. The Secretary of Digital Innovation and Diaspora in the Office of the President Dennis took to social media to pray for the Citizen TV anchor.

“It has always been said and I agree that, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” Though it tarries, be sure that Justice will be done my dear friend Jacque Maribe. So shall it be done for Monica and Family. So, graciously hear me Lord. Good week all,” wrote Dennis Itumbi on Facebook.

Still feels a thing for Maribe
Dennis Itumbi and Jacque Maribe
Dennis Itumbi and Jacque Maribe

Itumbi engaged Facebook fans who raised several questions. From her responses, it was clear he only wants Maribe alone to be acquitted because he still feels something for her.

Read some of the responses below:

Dabuke Jela: This is vintage Dennis Itumbi… Quoting Martin Luther King Jr to moralize a murder most foul. Shouldn’t it be the other way round? The family of Monica that is grieving the loss of a daughter first, then your friend Jacque Maribe whose judgement seems to have failed her?

Dennis Itumbi: charging an innocent person in any case is the greatest injustice in any criminal prosecution. That is why they say, you would rather have 1,000 guilty people freed, than one innocent person Jailed. That is my position

Rita Nemayian Oyier: you are taking this case too personal, I hope its not your ladder to climbing back your way to her disintegrated heart. Brother, I will advise that you stop giving this girl false hopes, and focus on looking for another damsel who will love you for real. Ladies are funny, you can try to catch her attention with all this beautiful nonsense yet her heart is probably with another Tarzan out there which may include Jowi the spiderman. I wonder why you don’t speak like this for all ladies implicated in such cases. All said bro, you will never understand women!

Dennis Itumbi: It is personal

Stewart Moses: You’re always not mentioning Jowie anywhere in your prayers. God doesn’t answer such prayers

Dennis Itumbi: I do not remember posting my entire prayer here. Unless you overheard me pray

Sue Kerama: In this case, justice for Monica comes first

Dennis Itumbi: Justice is just that Justice. It bears no positions or time just one thing called Justice at the fall of the hammer. I however agree with you that Monica’s family deserves and should be served with Justice and therefore closure

Jujuh Gal:  Am glad she looks strong today. Dennis Itumbi why ain’t you in court bro?

Dennis Itumbi: i was right there

Zachary Maina: Dennis you have clearly avoided mentioning Jowie because you would have want him rot in jail for a clear reason….

Dennis Itumbi:  to Jowie too, Justice

Stephen Masudi: We believe in this gracious Lord of miracles, when your prayers shall be answered Dennis, on that day, take this gal and marry her you are the only man who can truly love and help guide Jacky in this life. On that day do not even wait for your pastor to come and join you in fact, do not even think of harusi. You remember that birthday cake you gave her on a live national TV, wacha hiyo isimamie cake ya harusi. Continue praying for her, justice will be done and more justice will be served to her when you will marry her. Wish you well and may our gracious Lord be with you.

Dennis Itumbi: Stephen Masudi hahaa you win!

Ndirangu Wa Marcus: imagine Monicah was your sister?

Dennis Itumbi:  she is my sister and I pray to God who know exactly what happened to ensure Justice is served. That is my prayer.

Wedding

It’s a sad and happy moment for Terryanne Chebet who will walk down the aisle soon, but possibly without her BFF Jacque Maribe at her wedding.

Terryanne announced wedding plan when she took to social media to reveal that she had been sampling bridal wedding gowns.

“This happened a couple weeks ago, got overtaken by events. Late post… Thanking @aurniacarlislebridals for a wonderful experience as we checked out their bridal gowns. Spoilt for choice! Help!!!. 1, 2 or 3?” Wrote Terryanne Chebet.

It’s even more sad to know that Jacque and her fiance Joseph Irungu might be getting married behind prison bars now that they have both been charged with murder.

 

Shock as Jacque Maribe faces the hangman’s noose as DPP officially charge her with murder

Posted on by Martin Oduor

The die has been cast, Jacque Maribe now has God and her lawyers to save her from facing the death sentence for the murder of Monica Kimani.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji has given the green light for Jacque to be slapped with murder charges after reviewing the evidence gathered by detectives.

“I have independently reviewed the evidence so far on a record and ma satisfied that there exists prima facie case to warrant criminal prosecution against the following individuals, for the offence Murder contrary to section 203 as read with section 204 of the Penal Code.
a) Joseph Kuria Irungu alias Jowie;
b) Jacqueline Wanjiru Maribe,” wrote the DPP.

Capital offense

Murder, treason, oathing for criminal activities by proscribed criminal outfits, robbery and attempted robbery with violence are the five crimes classified as capital offences in Penal Code.

The law prescribes death as the only sentence for convicts of such five offences. If found guilty by the court, Jacque Maribe will likely to spend the rest of her life in prison because the last people to be hanged were 1982 coup plotters.

In June 2018 Miss Lang’ata Prison Ruth Kamande who stabbed her boyfriend multiple times was handed the death sentence by the court.

 

 

 

 

Jacque Maribe’s father: My daughter reported Monica’s murder on Citizen TV, how callous can she be to participate in a murder and have courage to read the news?

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Jacque Maribe’s father Mwangi Maribe also questions how his daughter could have participated in Monica’s murder and still had the audacity to read the news on Citizen TV.

“The day after Monica’s murder, my daughter read the same piece of news at Citizen. How callous can she be to participate in a murder and have the courage to read the news? That is not the girl we raised,” Mwangi Maribe said in an interview with the Nation.

Mwangi Maribe also claims that police have arrested his daughter because they want to become famous. He said the only mistake Jacque did was falling in love.

“Police want to become famous by nailing a celebrity. That is why my daughter is in custody. Her neighbour, Brian Kassaine, also has a partner. Why is she not in custody? Her biggest mistake was falling in love,” said Mwangi Maribe.

 

 

 

Only Kirigo Ng’arua tried warning Jacque Maribe after noticing Jowi was a very strange guy -Friends

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Citizen TV news Jacque Maribe is currently in hot soup after the murder of Monica Kimani who he was killed by his fiance Joseph Irungu aka Jowi.

Irungu and Maribe were lovebirds for almost six months but now things have emerged that the relationship wasn’t rosy at all.

According to Maribe’s friends, former Citizen TV news anchor Kirigo Ng’arua had tried warning her from Jowi after over hearing an argument from the two.

According to Word Is, Kirigo saw through Jowi’s lies and warned Maribe early enough and it tainted her relationship with Jacque’s man.

“Kirigo was the only one who saw through Jowie for who he was. There was a time she had a public altercation with him because Jowie found out she was telling Jacque he is not worth her love. This altercation coloured their relationship going forward.” said a source. 

Helpless

The source then went ahead to explain that Jacques proposal occurred while Kirigo wasn’t around and she was left with only congratulating her.

 “After all what could she do, they are friends first before Jowie was in the picture and even after he leave, she will still be close to Jacque,” the source said.

When reached by Word Is and asked about this, Kirigo refused to open up on the issue.

“Who is that giving you that information? Then ask them their thoughts as well. I don’t want to comment about that.” she said. 

Jacque Maribe decides to save herself and testify against fiancé Joseph Irungu?

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Detectives have built a watertight case against Joseph Irungu and now it’s up to Jacque Maribe to decide whether she play loyal and sink with her fiancé or save her own skin.

Jacque’s lawyer Katwa Kigen hinted to Saturday Standard that his client was considering cutting a deal with the prosecution that could see her testify against Irungu.

The defense team is also considering filing an application to demand the release of Jacque on grounds that she is no longer a person of interest in Monica Kimani’s murder.

They are basing the application on grounds that detectives are yet to take DNA samples from Jacque as they requested in court.

She will readily assist police

Katwa Kigen told Saturday Standard that Jacque will readily assist police if called upon to say whatever she knows. The lawyer, who was visiting Jacque at Gigiri Police, didn’t immediately confirm that his client would testify against her fiancé.

“If our client is called in by the police to say whatever she knows, she will readily assist. Some of the details they were looking for are whether our client knew Monica. It has been established that they did not know each other. This automatically removes her from the scene of crime,” said Katwa Kigen.

Eric Omondi and Jacque Maribe dated years ago before they broke up sometimes in February 2015. Jacque indirectly announced the breakup when she was seen publicly exchanging saliva with Dennis Itumbi.

For years there have been rumors that Eric Omondi is the one who fathered Jacque’s son Zahari. A little bird told Nairobian that the comedian comedian has been footing child support bills for the Zahari since 2014.

According to the Nairobian tabloid, Eric and Jacque decided not to publicly speak about the paternity of Zahari for their own interests.

“Her baby daddy is Eric Omondi but he bailed out on her and this profoundly affected her,” a source told the daily.

Eric Omondi however denied fathering Jacque’s son when he was contacted about the paternity of Zahari. The comedian revealed that he knew the kid’s father but wouldn’t want to reveal who he is because the timing is bad owing to the fact that Jacque is currently facing criminal charges over her involvement in the murder of Monica Kimani.

“I know the baby daddy, however, it is not a good time to reveal him since Jacque is undergoing a difficult time,” said Eric Omondi.

Joseph Irungu AKA Jowie was a church choir leader- neighbors

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

As more information about Monica Kimani’s alleged killer Joseph Irungu alias Jowie comes to light, the more Kenyans realize he’s a total scam.

Many have tried digging Jowie’s past now for sometimes but they have gotten nothing much. However, Daily Nation managed to trace his home, which is Nakuru and found out that the he was a staunch christian as a younger man.

He attended Agape Church situated in Pangani estate off the busy Kanu Street in Nakuru and even founded the choir called christened Agape Stormers.

“It is true he was a member of this church and a staunch choir member. I knew him personally and I was shocked when I learnt that he has been arrested in connection with the murder of a young woman in Kilimani, Nairobi,” said one person who spoke to the newspaper. 

Irungu is the second born child in a family of two boys and two girls. Many friends said that he was a very disciplined young man but they lost touch with him after he moved to Dubai then Afghanistan.

“I don’t know much of his present lifestyle. However, during our good times he was a staunch church member at Agape Church and a superb vocalist in the church choir,” said a close friend. He was such an amazing young man who was musically correct and with superb vocals. I was shocked when I saw his photograph in the newspapers as the main suspect of the murder of a girl in Kilimani,” the neighbour said.

“The last time I saw him in Nakuru was in 2015 and since then I have not heard of him as we never communicated again,” said another close band member.

Musician

Other neighbors remembered him as a talented musician who had some amazing vocals.

“He was an inspiring musician. He was a vocalist, and an instrumentalist in the church ,” said a friend who teamed up with Mr Irungu to form a band that entertained residents in Nakuru and Naivasha towns.

“Irungu is one person who never missed going to church. His absence was easily noticed,” said another friend with whom they played music together in the church. I was shocked when I saw his photograph in the Daily Nation as the main suspect in the murder of a girl in Kilimani estate in Nairobi,” added another.

Never

Monica’s dad, Bishop Paul Kimani Ngarama, has also come out to share that he has forgiven those who murdered her daughter but his wife Miriam Kimani said she cannot forgive her daughter’s killers.

Joe Irungu was recently arrested as the main suspect after Monica Kimani was killed in a her house in Kilimani last Friday.

Police managed to trace his phone data which shows he was at Luciane Apartments where Monica lived.

He told police however that he was shot while dropping his girlfriend Jacque Maribe at her Royal Park Estate residence where three men on a motorcycle were waiting at the gate.

Maribe also confessed to police that she drove Irungu to Nairobi West hospital on Friday after he was shot. Neighbors, however, have said they didn’t hear any gunshot and police couldn’t find catridges at the scene.

Thug face

A photo leaked online by Irungu who is a trained mercenary working abroad has left many rather unimpressed because of the face he had when taking the picture.

Kenyans were quick to conclude that Irungu’s “bad boy face” in the photo is a clear sign that he doesn’t care and he’s a true thug.

Here are the photos.

Itumbi: Jacque Maribe even knows my parents but we are not dating 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

State House Digital Director Dennis Itumbi has been forced to clear the air, yet again, that he’s not and never has dated Citizen TV news anchor Jacque Maribe.

Speaking to Classic 105, Itumbi had a lot to say:

“I have stated this, and Jacque herself has also stated this for the longest time now, that we are not dating. People have always believed we are dating.

“The proposal was actually to say, ‘We told you we are not dating’. So, is Jacque my very good friend? Yes, she is and I am her good friend. She is a person I can call any day, any time when I am in a problem and she will help me out immediately,” he said.

Adding:

“I am the kind of friend she would call when she has a puncture and she even knows my parents and I know her parents and friends. She knows where I live and I know where she lives but we are not dating. I think we dated more on the voices of print media and on the radio airwaves more than we actually had interacted. I am very excited that she said yes to the [proposal] and we will support her all through her marriage process from traditional marriage to the wedding. She is a very good friend. I met her in the media when I was working for People and she was at K24. That is how our friendship grew.

Itumbi also disclosed that he regrets discovering dating very late. He said that he had kissed women before but never dated because to him dating was something more intense.

“I discovered dating very late and I really wish I had done that early in life. Today I would be a father of seven children. Something I would have done better is dating. I have kissed two or three beautiful women but I have never dated because to me that is something more intense,” said Dennis Itumbi.
